Abstract (en)
[origin: US2009210731A1] A method of minimizing power consumption in an integrated device is disclosed. The method comprises providing a plurality of circuit blocks having circuits for performing logic functions, wherein each circuit block consumes power in a static state; coupling one of a plurality of operating voltages to each circuit block of the plurality of circuit blocks; enabling a reduction of power consumed by a first set of circuit blocks by way of a first power reduction signal; and enabling a reduction of power consumed by a second set of circuit blocks by way of a second power reduction signal. A circuit for minimizing power consumption in a device is also disclosed.
